git pull

A Git command that fetches changes from a remote and integrates them into the current branch.

Definition

git pull is git fetch followed by git merge (or git rebase with --rebase or pull.rebase=true). git fetch alone downloads changes without modifying the working branch.

Example

git pull --rebase origin main

Exam tip

fetch = download only; pull = fetch + merge. Exams often test this difference.
